• Investigations: visits made in response to a complaint
• Enforcement actions: letters describing fines, conditions, stop placement or other action DSHS took

• A citation means a rule was not met; it does not by itself mean a resident was harmed. Read what was cited and whether DSHS confirmed it was corrected.
